Investment banks are pretty generous to their interns. In return for 10 to 12 weeks of hard slog over the summer, you can expect a pro-rated salary of £40k. That amounts to £3.3k a month, which is pretty good when you're only 19 or 20 years-old and haven't even graduated from university.

However, before any prospective investment banking interns feel too smug about their pay, they're advised to look at the following chart, taken from a Tweet which went viral yesterday and has been picked up by various news sites. It suggests investment banks' aren't the best places to get compensated as an intern: if you want to earn a lot pre-graduation, you need to spend your summer with a technology firm in Silicon Valley. Question and answer site Quora, for example, is paying its interns a total of $9.8k (£6.2k) per month, including housing allowance. Unfortunately, it has no plans to open an office in London anytime soon.

Separately, Financial News says Deloitte is hiring as it attempts to launch a 'boutique' equity capital markets business. FN says the big four firm has just regained its status as a 'sponsor' that helps coordinate initial public offerings (IPOs). It's advertising for an assistant director withing its all new equity advisory arm. The preferred candidate will reportedly be a, 'senior banker' with a 'level of experience.'
